| Being one of the oldest science branches in the world, history discipline always attracted attention during human story. It is meaningless to tackle with the so called debate ?whether history repeats itself or not? instead one should focus on human being who always main actor of historical developments and under similar conditions repeats his/her acts. Edward H. Carr in his book he searches answer of the question ?what is history?? after long debate decides that ?history is objectively transfer of events to next generations?. Ibni Khaldun in his famous book Mukaddime says that history is a kind of action towards to analyze historical events from cause and effect relation perspective. Turkkaya Ataov in his book Respond to Blue Book, criticizes orientalist historiography underlines similar views with Khaldun.
Under this context, IR and Public Adm. students so far who studied World History, Ottoman History and European Political History needs to learn contemporary historical developments also which most of them are the causes of current conflicts or issues. During Political History course starting from mid-19th century world events including Ottoman modernization and fall, foundation of Modern Turkish Republic will be tackled with.
